Shots rang out Saturday night at the Washington Hilton as a gunman attempted to crash the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. The alleged attacker, identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California, was neutralized by Secret Service as he approached a security perimeter located just levels away from President Trump and the First Lady. FOX News Audio White House Correspondent Jared Halpern attended the dinner and joins the Rundown to recap the chaotic moments, the rapid law enforcement response, and the looming questions regarding security protocols at high-profile Washington events. The integration of artificial intelligence remains a polarizing topic, especially regarding its use in the classroom and how best to prepare children for how it may change our society. Mackenzie Price is a co-founder of Alpha School, which utilizes adaptive AI to provide students with a personalized education. She joins the Rundown to explain her learning model and how moving away from traditional teaching methods and incorporating AI—allows her students to excel.   PLUS, commentary by Tevi Troy, senior fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute and a former senior White House aide.
